The Seminole High School Tennis Team has had a tremendous year for both our fall and spring seasons, as you should see from our list of successes. With that being said, it could not have been done without a ton of people to whom I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude.

I would like to thank my wife, Sharla Gersbach, for all of the work that she did this year to help me run this tennis program (especially all of the things that I threw at her last minute), and in helping me run the largest tennis tournament Seminole has ever hosted. We had almost 450 players from Jr. High through High School in attendance during the 3 day tournament (more than 500 people were at the High School Courts on the final day of the tournament).

I would also like to thank Ross Johnson and Dickeys for putting together hundreds of meals for us this year at our tournaments.

A big thank you also goes out to the The Klassens and The Dycks who are two sets of parents that have pulled together this year and have provided us with tons of support to help our program continue to grow and come together as one big tennis family.

I want to thank both of our Athletic Directors and our Superintendent, Kent Jackson, Leland Bearden and Gary Laramore, who have given the tennis program all kinds of support this year (it really has been amazing)!

I especially want to thank both Daylan Sellers and Bryan Ritchey for allowing me to do the things that I needed to do in order to help grow this tennis program and to ensure its success in the future.

And finally, a huge thank you to Gwen Coon, who gets everything ready behind the scenes to make everything we do possible!
